If you have a maven project, you can easily integrate google_checks (you should use at least maven-checkstyle-plugin version 2.17)
<plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-checkstyle-plugin</artifactId> <version>2.17</version> <configuration> <configLocation>google_checks.xml</configLocation> </configuration> </plugin>
Doing checkstyle will use google_checks, for example. to do
mvn checkstyle:checkstyle
Background version
Checkstyle-project integrates google_checks from version 6.9 in. Maven-checkstyle-plugin version 2.17. is the first one issued after checkstyle6.9 (actually it uses checkstyle6.11.2 ). So maven-checkstyle-plugin2.17 is the first version of this plugin that actually comes with google_checks and provides it without any other dependency.
